& its hard to wax poetic with 140. i just want it clear that the Roots are PROFESSIONAL enough to know we are doing a family show on the 4th

[?st @questlove]

aided by a trigger happy censor button controller who never met with us beforehand to discuss any issues. i don't wanna be a broken record

[?st @questlove]

earlier to the station & its president who apologized. but there is still a jumped conclusion of the Roots performance that day---no doubt

[?st @questlove]

this is the worst case of jumping the gun. for those who watched the event on @VH1 there was no complaints. for those locals who opted

[?st @questlove]

i'll leave you people (& all of the philly press following me) to judge, where was the foul language in our performance? there wasn't any.

[?st @questlove]

being something it wasn't is simply wrong. and I'm up 3:25am. HERE is the complete @VH1 version of our opener http://t.co/vCQHjoagBf

[?st @questlove]

fully aware that daughters and grandmothers are in the audience. yes when apropos we cuss like sailors. but this reckless talk of our show

[?st @questlove]

thus giving our performance annoying gaps and bleeps when it was never needed IN THE 1ST PLACE. The Roots are PROFESSIONAL.

[?st @questlove]

for some reason unmentioned broadcast station pulled a Kimmel (not the one on broad street) but of the "Unnecessary Censorship" variety

[?st @questlove]

extremely miffed at the false stories in philly press of The Roots "dropping f bombs left & right" in various outlets. this is simply a LIE

[Frank Knuckles @FrankKnuckles]

wish I could go back in time back to July 4th - replayin @philly4jam #PhillyJam #epic

[Black Thought @blackthought]

Annoyed by negative press regarding @philly4jam. I didn't curse. Nor did I hear minaj curse. She came close but omitted syllables etc.
